I prefer Apple controlling their platform thank you very much. I remember Verizon controlling what I could use to connect to an old flip phone, not allowing me to use bluetooth but some service they charged for.

I remember Verizon controlling what OS version was installed and what firmware and what updates were even supported by them.

Remember when Cell Service providers charged us PER SMS text?

I do.

You're presenting a ridiculous dilemma between phones that are controlled by the network, and phones that are controlled by the manufacturer. Turns out, there's a third option that you are handily ignoring, where phones are controlled by the owner.
